It is done. The PC will be delivered before Xmas. Call it...a self spoiling due to being such a good boy. 9.9% interest, $135/month for 36 months. Total will be $4,600-whatever. Now, I will change from the worst f'n PC to the best. The hunted becomes the hunter. We Own (the) Other Team! Dual Geforce 7800 SLI GTX, baby! Woohoo! Edit: For fuck sakes. I knew there'd be a problem since the dude's name was Prakash Ranganathan. I'm sorry, no matter how vile it might sound: you should never outsource to a country where their first language isn't english when it comes to purchasing items that cost in the $5,000 range. That's just too much cash to risk messing up on a part. They never seem to get shit right. Here's the list of what's included in my PC. I shall mark in yellow what is wrong. I am just so glad they did not fuck up the processor, the ram, or the video cards.

I already have over 400gb in hard drive space that I plan to strip from this piece of crap. I guess it's not such a big deal, as it's on a raid, but they coulda saved me some cash without it. I would have been fine with their smallest 80gb drive since I have more than enough space though. (2) Another scam. I didn't ask for Norton 90 days of security. Don't they realize I can get anything I want. Why would I want to pay f or Norton? There are better antivirus applications I use, such as Bit Defender...even Panda Software is superior to Norton's outdated code. (3) Aol? Are they retarded? Unless they're just adding the application to get Aol, it would be funny to give me a computer without a dialup modem installed and sign me up to AOL. If that's the case, the bombs over baghdad will have to resume. No way am I getting on AOL. I remember when they were new and charged $45 a minute to be online here in Canadia. (4) I asked for a 1-year warranty. It appears the douche didn't get it when I said "I WANT A ONE-YEAR WARRANTY!" The first year is when things can go wrong. True, this PC did not break down once in all the years I've had it, but you never know. So, anyway, if their system breaks down they better fix it since I ordered it. Dumb ass. Not paying 5 grand to have something go wrong and them not fix it. Anyway, there's my bitching for now. I will wait and see what else goes wrong. Edit #2: Here it is!
